Abstract
Purpose
This report details the recommendations of a Nursing Best Practice Working Group, which aims to advance best practice in the use of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) in patients with high-grade glioma (HGG).
Design
Quality Improvement Project.
Methods
These recommendations were gathered during a meeting of a Nursing Best Practice Working Group comprising expert nurses and practice administrators from five US centers of excellence in the management of HGG. Ahead of the meeting, a survey was taken to evaluate the views of each expert and surgical teams, patients and institutions on current benefits, challenges and practices associated with the use of 5-ALA FGS in HGG. The Nursing Best Practice Working Group then met to share their experiences, explore where consensus exists, and identify opportunities for enhanced patient management.
Findings
The advisors made recommendations to support improvements across a range of areas associated with multidisciplinary team delivery of 5-ALA FGS. These included specific issues surrounding the administration of 5-ALA, photosensitivity and low-light precautions, and key aspects relating to protocol development, content features, format and accessibility, and updates and education of both the multidisciplinary team and patients. Guidance was also gathered on a flowchart to support the practical delivery of patient care and detail roles, responsibilities, and timings.
Conclusions
This guidance provides direction for the development of practical, evidence-based protocols and educational approaches for multidisciplinary teams and patients. Such approaches can improve best practice in 5-ALA FGS in all institutes, irrespective of size, and when developed collaboratively provide the means to share best practice across institutes and reach consensus on patient care.
